Food was from food truck on site. Had county smash burger. Was not prepared for such amazing flavors. Never expect much from burgers, for the most part it’s difficult to miss on making one. Outstanding cooked perfectly… Met the chef Morgan, Great guy. Served by Zack, took excellent care of us

Came in on a Friday night to see my favorite bartender Kailie and the vibes were immaculate. The view, music, and drinks were all 10/10.

Drift Shoreside Beer Garden in Bay City is the perfect summer hangout! Great vibes, awesome drink selection, and a killer waterfront view. Big shoutout to Kailie behind the bar—super friendly, fast, and made the best cocktails we’ve had in a while. Can’t wait to go back!

Drift is everything you want in a lakefront bar. Laid back, scenic, and effortlessly cool. I stopped in for a sunset drink and ended up staying for hours. The view over the water is unreal, with boats gently rocking nearby and a breeze that makes you forget every stress you walked in with.

What really made the night unforgettable though, was my server Kailie, she’s an absolute peach. Attentive, upbeat, and just the right amount of fun. Her smile alone could brighten the whole dock. She made me feel like a regular, even though it was my first time there. Drinks came fast, recommendations were spot-on, and she never missed a beat.

Can’t wait to come back!

Great food and drinks and the food trucks always deliver. Both Alex and Kailie have been amazing every time Ive been in and made sure the service was great. A lil packed on the weekends but otherwise a great spot.

This is a great location, upper and lower deck spaces on the water. They have live music and DJ's often which adds to the atmosphere. Service is great, I was recently served by Kailie and she was so attentive and friendly!
